Bitcoin’s latest plunge to $96K has taken the global markets by utter surprise. With the Fed rate odds closing in at 52%, the markets are anticipating that the Fed may not cut rates anymore, strengthening the US dollar in its wake. In this process, assets like gold and Bitcoin have fallen to reflect the investor sentiment pivot as of late. That being said, analysts have come up with their own unique theories, urging investors to zoom out and analyze what Bitcoin’s nature truly is.

Bitcoin: A Long-Term Bet That Pays Off Eventually

According to financial expert Hunter Horsley, Bitcoin packs a punch within itself, as compared to other assets in a broader sense. The expert urged investors to use a “zoom out” methodology instead of zooming in or focusing on BTC’s latest fall to $94K. Horsley shared how globally there are $120T locked in equities, whereas nearly $140T is locked in fixed income. Additionally, the expert shared how nearly $250T are locked in real estate, whereas $100T are locked in M2/money. He further shared an estimate for gold, adding how gold might be locking nearly $30T in itself.

Later on, Horsley shared a compelling analysis, drawing a comparison of Bitcoin with these assets. He shared how nearly $1.9T is locked in Bitcoin, all waiting to be explored and unleashed gradually.

Horsley shared how Bitcoin’s latest plunge doesn’t matter. The fact that the asset has a long way to explore is what investors should be currently focused on.

“Globally, there’s $120+ trillion of wealth in equities. $140+ trillion of wealth in fixed income. $250+ trillion of wealth in real estate. $100+ trillion in M2/money. $30 trillion in gold. There’s $1.9 trillion in Bitcoin. Bitcoin at $85k, $95k, and $105k is all the same thing. In any case, it’s tiny. It has a long, long way to go. And access is just now opening up for the $100s of trillions of wealth to be able to buy it for the first time. Don’t lose the forest for the trees.”
